4.) Oligodendrocytes

 


No depth in the junction;


of course, this one is well-known in myelin production,


Oligodendrocytes can produce amyloid beta by the swift of a breeze.


If you unaware, it is a protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease.


Previously thought to be produced by neurons,


a new pattern to the fleurons.


With the art in the recovery,

this was an unexpected discovery.


Short to a valance,

Heeyah! It is important in lipid metabolism and energy balance.


Truth or dare, fee or a fare, bright as a flare,

this can help with MS and Alzheimer's by promoting myelin repair.


Amyloid beta with levels of production that are higher or similar to neurons-


wow! New petals to the fleurons.


From Huntington's disease and frontotemporal dementia,


up, up and away and we have a neurodegenerative differentia.


Uncommon as microscopic mites,

we have neuro power that bites,


A journey to the brain with delights;


this is our fantastic oligodendrocytes.
